I’ve heard that talking to yourself is a sign of intelligence and I’m sticking with that.

Social Psychologist here and resident nerd..It's actually very healthy to do so. Our inner chatter is simply a way for the mind to process our outer world.

[@ciegosordomudo]

Yes, I talk to myself all the time. I think the habit started in childhood because I was an only child. Completely used to being alone all the time. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized I talk to myself as a way to get thoughts out of my head and “hear” them instead of internalizing and overanalyzing them in my mind. It’s a form of validation and puts the thoughts in a different perspective for me.

[@SincerelyAfrikia]

That’s a great way to put it. I, too, am an only child and feel the same way.

When someone pisses me at work, I'll always rant about it to myself, pretending I'm telling off to that person. Most of the time my "ranty - self" has a lot of good points that I end up agreeing with. It just calms me down and I immediately feel better. I am not at all a confrontational type so this helps me to deal with the stress of the unpleasant situation. I actually think it's very healthy and it shows that you're a deep thinker, because a lot of the times we do it without realisation as a result of us being so deep within our thoughts and inside our own heads.
